I am sure you like your motorized bike but the majority of serious cyclists are their own engines, are clipped in to their pedals, and having to stop and unclip at every Village entrance is not something most people want to do. You are comparing apples to oranges.

If you are cycling on the MMPs at 10 mph then you may not feel too threatened but I still believe it is a dangerous place to be. If you like to ride at 20 mph the MMPs are not a place you want to be.
Unless I am riding an e-bike at 19 mph. Is that correct? As a serious biker you probably experienced taking over a lane in the villages and still having someone pass you on your left and getting too close to your shoulder just to make their point.
